There is no special objection to the right of eminent domain to fit this particular case, though there are ru- | mors afloat that Cuddy doesn't intend to let his rights be taken away without a fight, but it transpires that there are objections on the part of others af- fected to the very broad powers which secem to be concealed in the bill. Some of the local authorities in various towns over the county have read the bill with not a little curiosity and are inquiring of their various town counsel just what it might mean. ‘This in connection with the right of eminent domain. Nobody except Cud- dy seems to have any objection to the Uncas Power company having the grgs;r eminent domain M%E uddy’s property, and most think that this is only falr, but wording of the charter amendment is very broad. It says: “Said corporation may take any land or real or right or interest therein that be necessary for the construction i L eration of its present power plant,” and so on. The word “operal " is what makes the trouble. The com- pany has,now almost all of the props erty necessary for the comstruction of its power plant, but it is a question whether or not it is not necessary to the operation of its plant to have pole lines to carry the wires over which go its power, and If this is so, the right of eminent domaln would per- tain to the erection of pole lines any- where in New London county. If this is to be so, there are those who would like to know it now. It also seems possible that there may be more or less said to the members of the Incorporations committee by counsel of other power companies which have not yet bullt under thelr charters. JAMES N. BURDICK MADE SECOND LIEUTENANT. Elected by Fifth Company,.Coast Ar- tillery—Had Been First Sergednt and Was Unanimous Choice. James N. Burdick, who for a num- ber of vears was the first sergeant of the Fifth company, C. A. C., was on Tuesdav evenihg clected the second lieutenant of the company, being the unanimous choice.

It was voted also that the com- pany give a ball during anniversary week, and it will be held on Tuesday evening, Captain Tarbox, First Lieut. Nichols and Second Lieut. Burdick were made the committee to have charge of it. An elaborate plan of joint militia manoeuvres in which the National Guard brigades of all the New Eng- land states are expected to participate, was evolved Wednesday at a private conference in the sState house at Bos- ton. Its acceptance by the Massachu- setts officials resulted in the cancel- ling of all previous orders for summer camps in that state. The meeting was private, and beyond stating that the proposed tour would occupy eight days during the middle of August, Adjutant General Brigham of the Massachu- setts militia would give no details. The conference wag arranged at the suggestion of Major General Lonard ‘Wood, U. S. A, who was present in person, accompanied by several offi- cers connected with the national army. Headed by Adjutant General Brigham and Brigadier Generals Embury P. Clark and William A. Pew, of the com- missioned officers of the line of the Massachusets state militia were in at- tendance.

The outline for the proposed tour was given by General Wood and its gen- er: features were accepted by the state official The resig ons of the members of the staff of Governor Lilley, which were forwarded to Lieutenant Govern- or Weeks directly after the governor's death, have been accepted. In orders issued Tuesday from the office of the adjutant general the acceptance of the resignation is announced.
